Running the http tests with valgrind does not work for two
reasons:

  1. Apache complains about following the symbolic link from
     git-http-backend to valgrind.sh.

  2. Apache does not pass through the GIT_VALGRIND variable
     to the backend CGI.

This patch fixes both problems. Unfortunately, there is a
slight hack we need to handle passing environment variables
through Apache. If we just tell it:

  PassEnv GIT_VALGRIND

then Apache will complain when GIT_VALGRIND is not set. If
we try:

  SetEnv GIT_VALGRIND ${GIT_VALGRIND}

then when GIT_VALGRIND is not set, it will pass through the
literal "${GIT_VALGRIND}". Instead, we now unconditionally
pass through GIT_VALGRIND from lib-httpd.sh into apache,
even if it is empty.

I rolled this a few weeks ago while searching for a bug that turned out
not to be in git at all. But even without hunting a specific bug, it
allows us to expand our valgrind test coverage, which is a good thing.
